Not learning to use AI can negatively impact your future career opportunities. Everyone will need basic AI skills.

# data[].attributes.body
For the students, teaching them how to use AI appropriately can help them in their future careers where their employers are likely going to expect them to know how use it.

As an employee, using AI, especially generative AI, helps save a lot of time on menial but otherwise time-consuming tasks, like writing emails.

# data[].attributes.body
AI tools are the next step in learning. Very much similar to the adopted use of MS Suite.

# data[].attributes.body
It can automate mundane tasks and minimize some errors (simple calculations, grammar, etc.)

# data[].attributes.body
AI is a timesaver for faculty, staff, and students.

# data[].attributes.body
AI can help every area of education to improve performance and general workflow.

# data[].attributes.body
Over reliance on using generative AI, even for the simplest thing, leading to a decrease in learning

# data[].attributes.body
Automates manual tasks

Creates more efficiency

Improves workforce opps for students

# data[].attributes.body
It can be tempting to use AI to circumvent the work and struggle associated with learning.

# data[].attributes.body
With resources available, there is no need to recreate the wheel. Users can use AI resources as a basis for expansion in the completion of a specific task. For example, teachers can use AI to generate a basic lesson plan from which they can customize to fit their specific need.

# data[].attributes.body
For operations, AI can introduce efficiencies in processing and making analytical decisions with data, and to handle lower-order processes that free up staff to do higher-value tasks.

Reliance on AI to generate ideas rather than coming up with their own.

Computer literacy gap

Fear

Data/tech concerns on privacy and safety

# data[].attributes.body
Efficiency

Repetitive/manual tasks

Opens time for more face time with students, addressing student needs, more thought-driven ideas

# data[].attributes.body
It will force educators to re-evaluate the curriculum to determine what is important to teach, how to assess learning, and focus more on application of knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
AI provides a new tool to enhance skillset for a fresh perspective.

# data[].attributes.body
When used as a time management tool, AI can improve overall job performance and satisfaction.

As a higher education institution, we have the opportunity to impact students by providing the technical knowledge required in their future careers, regardless of the field.

# data[].attributes.body
Revolutionize course creation and content

Realign time from menial tasks to strategy

Allow greater personalization for students

# data[].attributes.body
So can help make daily work flows smarter not harder.

# data[].attributes.body
Not understanding how AI is making decisions--for example, understanding how an algorithm applying weights to data elements in systems that predict the student success. Understanding how these decisions are made are critical in understanding where bias may exist in the analysis.

# data[].attributes.body
Entering a tech dark age

Transparency and loss of trust in the institution

Negative impact on student and staff mental health

# data[].attributes.body
AI efficiency may lead to job revisions and/or reduction in force.

# data[].attributes.body
Over-reliance on automation: failure to continually adjust based on new information and correct possible systematic errors.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning gaps

Implementation

Lack of policy

Privacy/security/cyber threats

Accuracy of data

User access/equity

# data[].attributes.body
AI is bias and has misinformation

# data[].attributes.body
Strength- allows more opportunity for data analyzing.

Weaknesses- end users become more reliant to “at your finger tip” data and may not notice outliers or inaccuracy in data. (Data governance)

Opportunities- Quicker access to data for decision making.

Threats- Over-reliance on easy access to data without understanding how the data is derived may lead to poorly made decisions.

# data[].attributes.body
Identifying the needs of AI and having the resources needed to assist in the implementation. Currently acknowledging our weaknesses and having the willingness to find resolutions. Collaboration between departments on a consistent basis to identify needs, changes, and remove barriers to progress.

# data[].attributes.body
Working with confidential information can be scary to the students and their parents worrying that their information will be revealed to the public. While using the AI presents opportunities for growth and improves the convenience, it does give out a bit of the fear mindset wondering how to protect their privacy due to chatGPT pulling information from everyone’s private property without their permissions ,not to mention, they are being sued for that. How can we assure them of their safety and privacy?

Improved processes

Better, more accurate data

Efficiency

# data[].attributes.body
We are already behind on finding ways to implement AI into our processes and workflow. We haven't provided resources on when to use AI, how to identify appropriate use, and set proper expectations on AI output.

# data[].attributes.body
From an institutional level implementation, we could be utilizing AI, such as chatbots, to assist students navigate the college experience. This could be from the point of applying all the way to graduation. Students could use AI to get through the College processes on registration, advising, financial aid, and the onboarding to access college and classroom resources.

The users knowledge of the AI Tool they are using can limit the outcome and accuracy.
